* The Conquistador Coffee sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' is followed by a film of a landscape with a passage of classical music playing. The music starts to skip, and John Cleese comes in and removes the needle from the record. He sits at his desk and says "and now for something completely different-etely different-etely different-etely different-etely different-etely different." The opening titles start and it goes into a repetitive skip halfway through.

* On ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'', there is a regular game called "Pick-Up Song", where each panelist takes it in turn to sing along with a song, the music is faded out and they continue singing, then the music is faded back in to see how well they've been able to keep in time with the original song. The game still used a record player up until 2006, and this resulted in several moments where the music came back to reveal the needle had got stuck, such as when Graeme Garden was seemingly doing a pretty good job with "Nellie the Elephant", only for the sound to come up with "was never seen again... was never seen again... was never seen again... was never seen again..."

* On ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'', there is a regular game called "Pick-Up Song", where each panelist takes it in turn to sing along with a song, the music is faded out and they continue singing, then the music is faded back in to see how well they've been able to keep in time with the original song. The game still used a record player up until 2006, and this resulted in several moments where the music came back to reveal the needle had got stuck, such as when Graeme Garden was seemingly doing a pretty good job with "Nellie the Elephant", only for the sound to come up with "was never seen again... was never seen again... was never seen again... was never seen again..."
